ONCF E 1257 / Tamdrost – Moulaine el Oued

It took more than four hours for the next passenger train back to Khouribga (خريبكة) to arrive. In the meantime, we were hoping to photograph a phosphate train. Unfortunately, however, all the freight trains were heading in the wrong direction. Together with a group from the Netherlands, we waited at Tamdrost (تمدروست) for the Al Atlas 903 from Casablanca (الدار البيضاء) to Khouribga (خريبكة). Amidst a dramatic display of clouds, we managed to photograph E 1257 against the backdrop of the green countryside.
